Shifts are usually employed to help
artists models in difficult positions, and
often display considerable ingenuity.

Academy Life School" in 1770 shows
how the models uphfted arm was sup

would be now; for instance, in Mr..
Birch's Last CALL" the falling horse

from the rafters in q position he could
not otherwise assume. 1.-THE Headlong
Fall of Lucifer' has, ere now, been
painted with the model standing in q

sary appearance of foreshortening being
obtained from the reflection. young

complacent admiration has been planted

pedient of placing looking glass for her
to gaze into.-The Argonaut.

The Chameleon,s Coloratlon.

But of all the parti colored reptiles the
chameleon is by far the best known, and
on the whole the most remarkable for his
INCONSISTENCY of coloration. Like LAGER
tine Vicar of Bray, he varies incontinently
from buff to blue, and from blue back to
orange again, under stress Of circumstan-
ces. The mechanism of this curious
change is extremely complex. Tiny cor
puscles of different pigments are some
times hidden in the depths of the chame-
Icons skin, and sometimes spread out on
its surface in an interlacing network Of
brown or purple. In addition to this
prime coloring matter, however, the ami
NAL also possesses a normal yellow pig
ment and a blush layer in the skin
which acts like the iridium glass 30 largely
employed by DR.. Salviati, being seen as
straw colored with a transmitted light,
but assuming faint lilac tint against an
opaque absorbent surface. While sleep
ing the chameleon becomes almost white
in the shade, but if light falls upon him
he slowly darkens by an automatic pro-
cess.-Cornhill Magazine.

Tho American and the oriepta,.

The eastern fatalist not only submits to
misfortune without murmur, but faces
death with iron composure. He has the
mind of Hamlet concerning it: ''If it
be now, It's not to come, if it be not TO
come, it will be now; if it be not now,
yet it will come. The readiness is all!''
The American, ON the other hand, in
his eagerness to set the whole world
right, quarrels with inevitable disaster,
as with trivial wrongs, and is too often
ready to call on God to explain to his
satisfaction the mysterious workings of
the universe. Even with the help Of his
Christianity, his behavior is often that Of
a petulant child compared with the grave
submission Of the Asiatic to destiny.

POETRY.
SCANDAL M0NGERS.

Do you hear the scandal mongers
Passing by,
Breathing poison in whisper,
In sigh?
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they go,
Never noisy-gliding smoothly as a
snake
Supping here and sliding there,
Through the meadow fresh and fair,
Leaving subtle slime and poison in their
wake.
Saw you not the scandal monger
AS she sat,
Beaming brightly meath the roses
On her hat?
In her dainty gloves and dress,
Angel like, and nothing less,
Seemed she, casting smiles and pleasing
words about.
Once she shrugged and shook her head.
Raised her eyes, and nothing said,
When you spoke of friends, and yet it
left a doubt.
Did you ever watch the scandal mon
ger
At the ball?
Through the music, rhythm, beauty,
Light and all,
Moving here and moving there,
With whisper light as air,
Casting shadows on a sister woman &
fame
Just whisper word or glance.
AS she floats through the dance,
And doubt forever hangs upon a name
You will find the scandal mongers
Everywhere
Sometimes men, but often women
Young and fair
Yet their tongues drip foulest slime.
AS they spend their leisure time
Casting mud ON those who climb by
work and worth
Shun them, shun them as you go
Shun them whether high or low:
They are but the cursed serpents of the
earth.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.


Farmers Alliances are being
formed in different parts Of the
county, and we learn a good deal
OF interest is being manifested
w. X. DeasoD, formerly Of this
county, but now OF Texas, is the
deputy organizer. He was in
our Office recently and left with us
a constitution and by laws, which
we have cal elully read, and do
not hesitate to say the principles
Of the order are good, and will
result IN benefit to our agricultural
interests, as well as to the indivi-
dual members. The farmers are
in need Of such an organization,
not only on account Of its social
and intellectual feature, but also
because it will be to their finon-
cial interest. The object of this
order is not to pull down or retard
any other industry, or to act
as an impediment to commerce,
but to secure by combination
what cannot be accomplished by
individual effort. There is moth
ing in the principles Of the ordci
which could be construed as
"boycotism." or as justifying the
building up Of agriculture at the
expense Of the mechanical and
commercial industries. it is only
for mutual protection and benefit
and we are glad to see such al
interest shown by our farmer
friends. Copiahan.

There was born to us in Richmond
A being. heavenly--mild.
She was our country's darling.

When pence had blessed our country
And lighting was no more,
Tie living returned to homesteads
Which fires had blackened DER,
We had one star to light us,
From out nights gloomy wild;

Two million sturdy fathers
Now claim her for their own,
Five times as many brothers
To manhood's strength have grown,
And mothers without number
Now clasp her 70 their breasts,
And sisters by the hundreds
Strive which may love her best.
Our country's child IS with us
On this auspiclous day
So let us make her happy
SO long as che may stay,
Our hearts ard homes are opened
Unto this lovely girl,
Because we love her dearly
And her graoes cha Es the the world.

THE DUTY or THE HOUR.

Hk DuIf Ot tHE HVoh.
Sword and Shield.
The people Of Mississippi,
especially of Kinds county, are
just now in a situation Of great
gravity. There is need Of wisdom
and the greatest self control.
Within radius Of u miles Of
jackson are four graves on which
the grass has not yet grown, 2 of
them dug within d month, and all
Of them occupied by men assassl-
mated. The supreme question
before us is: Shall assassination
become the accepted method Of
rightine real and imaginary wrongs
or Of securing desired ends. The
duty Of this hodr is to answer
that question properly, to answer
it ia the interest of civilization
and by civilized methods. The
Indignation of the people is deeply
stirred. 1t could not be otherwise.
There IS in every honorable man
a loathing of treachery and ass
assination, and this is intensified
when numbers concentrate upon
one man. What we insist upon
now Is. that there be due caution
in speech. Let no one speak Of
violence. If the good citizens Of
the country will properly use
legal remedies they will be found
sufficient. 1t will be a great vic
tory, if the people calmly and
resoIutely enforce the law with an
even hand against all yiolators.
There should be deliberation at
every step. We believe the well
nigh universal sentiment of the
people will be, as the testimony
goes before them, that the case =
of such gravity that no undue
haste should jcopardize JUSTICE
Aud certainly no sharp practice on
the part of counsel will meet with
appreciation. There aiea number
of parties suspected Of being il
the conspiracy with more or less
circumstantial proof against them
I They ought to have full time to
: prepare their case. And 50 the
State should have time to ferret
out testimony or deyelOpe their
clues.
The officers Of the law should
{ be strengthened by the good
citizens of the country. We
mean by this that they ought tC
be made to feel that the people
: will support them in doing theii
; duty fearlessly.
We nave spoken of our duty al
e to civil law. There is a wider
field of duty before us all; the
realm over which the moral law
reigns. TO meet our obligation;
l in that realm, we must talk and
g act with view of building up {
8 true civilization. 1t would be {
e pitiable thing, if, after the brave
: true young man had been slain
e the law, iu a spasm Of revenge
J should deal out justice to pcrpe
] traitors Of the ungallant, ignobl'
deed and left us still on the lowe
grounds of assassination.
; In a sense. the jury in thi
\ case will bo all the people of th'
q State. Their verdict mav fomu
e late public sentiment on highe
moral plan. And. therefore, w
: plead for the exercise, not only 0
g all our civil virtues, but also, art
$ even more, the highest mora
n qualities Of human nature elevated
I into a true Christian civilization
$ And we plead for this first an'
most, because it is right ans
!, because the future good of tn
n people require it. The plea ma,
It be enforced by the steady devo
a ton OF the slain editor to law aD'
e morality.
